Upgrading a CorDapp to a new platform version
=============================================
Upgrading apps to Corda 4
=========================
These notes provide instructions for upgrading your CorDapps from previous versions, starting with the upgrade from our
first public Beta (:ref:`Milestone 12 <changelog_m12>`), to :ref:`V1.0 <changelog_v1>`.
These notes provide instructions for upgrading your CorDapps from previous versions. Corda provides backwards compatibility for public,
non-experimental APIs that have been committed to. A list can be found in the :doc:`corda-api` page.
This means that you can upgrade your node across versions *without recompiling or adjusting your CorDapps*. You just have to upgrade
your node and restart.
However, there are usually new features and other opt-in changes that may improve the security, performance or usability of your
application that are worth considering for any actively maintained software. This guide shows you how to upgrade your app to benefit
from the new features in the latest release.
.. contents::
:depth: 3
General rules
-------------
Always remember to update the version identifiers in your project's gradle file:
Step 1. Adjust the version numbers in your Gradle build files
-------------------------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: shell
.. sourcecode:: groovy
ext.corda_release_version = 'x.y.0'
ext.corda_gradle_plugins_version = 'x.y.0'
ext.corda_release_version = '4.0'
ext.corda_gradle_plugins_version = '4.0.36'
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.71'
ext.quasar_version = '0.7.10'
It may also be necessary to update the version of major dependencies:
.. important:: Apps targeting Corda 4 may not at this time use Kotlin 1.3, as it was released too late in the development cycle
for us to risk an upgrade. Sorry! Future work on app isolation will make it easier for apps to use newer Kotlin versions than
the node itself uses.
.. sourcecode:: shell
Step 2. Add a "cordapp" section to your Gradle build file
---------------------------------------------------------
ext.kotlin_version = 'x.y.z'
ext.quasar_version = 'x.y.z'
This is used by the Corda Gradle build plugin to populate your app JAR with useful information. It should look like this::
Please consult the relevant release notes of the release in question. If not specified, you may assume the
versions you are currently using are still in force.
cordapp {
info {
name "MegaApp"
vendor "MegaCorp"
targetPlatformVersion 4
minimumPlatformVersion 4
}
}
We also strongly recommend cross referencing with the :doc:`changelog` to confirm changes
Name and vendor can be set to any string you like, they don't have to be Corda identities. Target versioning is a new concept
introduced in Corda 4. Learn more by reading :doc:`versioning`. Setting a target version of 4 disables workarounds for various
bugs that may exist in your app, so by doing this you are promising that you have thoroughly tested your app on the new version.
Using a high target version is a good idea because some features and improvements are only available to apps that opt in.
To run database upgrades against H2, you'll need to connect to the node's database without starting the node. You can
do this by connecting directly to the node's ``persistence.mv.db`` file. See :ref:`h2_relative_path`
Step 3. Upgrade your use of FinalityFlow
----------------------------------------
UNRELEASED
----------
FinalityFlow
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The previous ``FinalityFlow`` API is insecure. It requires a handler flow in the counterparty node which accepts any and
The previous ``FinalityFlow`` API is insecure. It doesn't have a receive flow, so requires counterparty nodes to accept any and
all signed transactions that are sent to it, without checks. It is **highly** recommended that existing CorDapps migrate
away to the new API.
away to the new API, as otherwise things like business network membership checks won't be reliably enforced.
This is a two step process:
1. Change the flow that calls ``FinalityFlow``
2. Change or create the flow that will receive the finalised transaction.
As an example, let's take a very simple flow that finalises a transaction without the involvement of a counterpart flow:
@ -137,63 +155,21 @@ finalised transaction. If the initiator is written in a backwards compatible way
The responder flow may be waiting for the finalised transaction to appear in the local node's vault using ``waitForLedgerCommit``.
This is no longer necessary with ``ReceiveFinalityFlow`` and the call to ``waitForLedgerCommit`` can be removed.
Database schema changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Step 4. Possibly, adjust unit test code
---------------------------------------
The type of the ``checkpoint_value`` column has changed. This will address the issue that the `vacuum` function is unable
to clean up deleted checkpoints as they are still referenced from the ``pg_shdepend`` table.
``MockNodeParameters`` and functions creating it no longer use a lambda expecting a ``NodeConfiguration`` object.
Use a ``MockNetworkConfigOverrides`` object instead. This is an API change we regret, but unfortunately in Corda 3 we accidentally exposed
large amounts of the node internal code through this one API entry point. We have now insulated the test API from node internals and
reduced the exposure.
For Postgres:
Step 5. Security: refactor to avoid violating sealed packages
-------------------------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: sql
Hardly any apps will need to do anything in this step.
ALTER TABLE node_checkpoints ALTER COLUMN checkpoint_value set data type bytea;
For H2:
.. sourcecode:: sql
ALTER TABLE node_checkpoints ALTER COLUMN checkpoint_value set data type VARBINARY(33554432);
* API change: ``net.corda.core.schemas.PersistentStateRef`` fields (``index`` and ``txId``) incorrectly marked as nullable are now non-nullable,
:doc:`changelog` contains the explanation.
H2 database upgrade action:
For Cordapps persisting custom entities with ``PersistentStateRef`` used as non Primary Key column, the backing table needs to be updated,
In SQL replace ``your_transaction_id``/``your_output_index`` column names with your custom names, if entity didn't used JPA ``@AttributeOverrides``
then default names are ``transaction_id`` and ``output_index``.
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT count(*) FROM [YOUR_PersistentState_TABLE_NAME] WHERE your_transaction_id IS NULL OR your_output_index IS NULL;
In case your table already contains rows with NULL columns, and the logic doesn't distinguish between NULL and an empty string,
all NULL column occurrences can be changed to an empty string:
.. sourcecode:: sql
UPDATE [YOUR_PersistentState_TABLE_NAME] SET your_transaction_id="" WHERE your_transaction_id IS NULL;
UPDATE [YOUR_PersistentState_TABLE_NAME] SET your_output_index="" WHERE your_output_index IS NULL;
If all rows have NON NULL ``transaction_ids`` and ``output_idx`` or you have assigned empty string values, then it's safe to update the table:
.. sourcecode:: sql
ALTER TABLE [YOUR_PersistentState_TABLE_NAME] ALTER COLUMN your_transaction_id SET NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE [YOUR_PersistentState_TABLE_NAME] ALTER COLUMN your_output_index SET NOT NULL;
If the table already contains rows with NULL values, and the logic caters differently between NULL and an empty string,
and the logic has to be preserved you would need to create copy of ``PersistentStateRef`` class with different name and use the new class in your entity.
No action is needed for default node tables as ``PersistentStateRef`` is used as Primary Key only and the backing columns are automatically not nullable
or custom Cordapp entities using ``PersistentStateRef`` as Primary Key.
* MockNetwork: ``MockNodeParameters`` and functions creating it no longer use a lambda expecting a ``NodeConfiguration``
object. Use a ``MockNetworkConfigOverrides`` object instead.
* Finance CorDapp (*corda-finance-XXX.jar*) is now build as a sealed and signed JAR file.
This means classes in your CorDapps cannot be placed under the following packages:
App isolation has been improved. Version 4 of the finance CorDapp (*corda-finance.jar*) is now built as a sealed and signed JAR file.
This means classes in your own CorDapps cannot be placed under the following packages:

Refactor any classes by moving them into a new package, e.g. *net/corda/finance/flows.MyClass.java* can be moved to *net/corda/finance/flows/company/MyClass.java*.
Also your classes are no longer able to access non-public members of Finance CorDapp classes.
In the unlikely event that you were injecting code into ``net.corda.*`` package namespaces from your own apps, you will need to move them
into a new package, e.g. *net/corda/finance/flows.MyClass.java* can be moved to *net/corda/finance/flows/company/MyClass.java*.
Also your classes are no longer able to access non-public members of finance CorDapp classes.
V3.2 to v3.3
------------
When recompiling your JARs for Corda 4, your own apps will also become sealed, meaning other JARs cannot place classes into your own packages.
This is a security upgrade that ensures package-private visibility in Java code works correctly.
* Update the Corda Release version
Step 6. Security: Add BelongsToContract annotations
---------------------------------------------------
The ``corda_release_version`` identifier in your projects gradle file will need changing as follows:
In versions of the platform prior to v4, it was the responsibility of contract and flow logic to ensure that ``TransactionState`` objects
contained the correct class name of the expected contract class. If these checks were omitted, it would be possible for a malicious counterparty
to construct a transaction containing e.g. a cash state governed by a commercial paper contract. The contract would see that there were no
commercial paper states in a transaction and do nothing, i.e. accept.
.. sourcecode:: shell
In Corda 4 the platform takes over this responsibility from the app, if the app has a target version of 4 or higher. A state is expected
to be governed by a contract that is either:
ext.corda_release_version = '3.3-corda'
1. The outer class of the state class, if the state is an inner class of a contract. This is a common design pattern.
2. Annotated with ``@BelongsToContract`` which specifies the contract class explicitly.
v3.1 to v3.2
------------
Learn more by reading ":ref:`implicit_constraint_types`". If an app targets Corda 3 or lower (i.e. does not specify a target version),
states that point to contracts outside their package will trigger a log warning but validation will proceed.
Gradle Plugin Version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Step 7. Consider adopting signature constraints
-----------------------------------------------
You will need to update the ``corda_release_version`` identifier in your project gradle file.
:doc:`design/data-model-upgrades/signature-constraints` are a new data model feature introduced in Corda 4. They make it much easier to
deploy application upgrades smoothly and in a decentralised manner. We strongly recommend all apps move to using signature constraints
as soon as feasible, as they represent the best tradeoff between the different upgrade control models.
.. sourcecode:: shell
.. important:: You will be able to use this feature if the compatibility zone you plan to deploy on has raised its minimum platform version
to 4. Otherwise attempting to use signature constraints will throw an exception, because other nodes would not understand it or be able
to check the correctness of the transaction. Please take this into account for your own schedule planning.
ext.corda_release_version = '3.2-corda'
You can read more about signature constraints and what they do in :doc:`api-contract-constraints`. The ``TransactionBuilder`` class will
automatically use them if your application JAR is signed. We recommend all JARs are signed. To start signing your JAR files, read
:ref:`cordapp_build_system_signing_cordapp_jar_ref`.
Database schema changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Step 8. Consider adding extension points to your flows
------------------------------------------------------
* Database upgrade - a typo has been corrected in the ``NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACTS`` table name.
When upgrading from versions 3.0 or 3.1, run the following command:
In Corda 4 it is possible for flows in one app to subclass and take over flows from another. This allows you to create generic, shared
flow logic that individual users can customise at pre-agreed points (protected methods). For example, a site-specific app could be developed
that causes transaction details to be converted to a PDF and sent to a particular printer. This would be an inappropriate feature to put
into shared business logic, but it makes perfect sense to put into a user-specific app they developed themselves.
.. sourcecode:: sql
ALTER TABLE [schema].NODE_ATTCHMENTS_CONTRACTS RENAME TO NODE_ATTACHMENTS_CONTRACTS;
.. note::
Schema name is optional, run SQL when the node is not running.
* Postgres database upgrade - Change the type of the ``checkpoint_value`` column to ``bytea``.
This will address the issue that the `vacuum` function is unable to clean up deleted checkpoints as they are still referenced from the ``pg_shdepend`` table.
.. sourcecode:: sql
ALTER TABLE node_checkpoints ALTER COLUMN checkpoint_value set data type bytea using null;
.. note::
This change will also need to be run when migrating from version 3.0.
.. important::
The Corda node will fail on startup if the database was not updated with the above commands.
v3.0 to v3.1
------------
Gradle Plugin Version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Corda 3.1 uses version 3.1.0 of the gradle plugins and your ``build.gradle`` file should be updated to reflect this.
.. sourcecode:: shell
ext.corda_gradle_plugins_version = '3.1.0'
You will also need to update the ``corda_release_version`` identifier in your project gradle file.
.. sourcecode:: shell
ext.corda_release_version = '3.1-corda'
V2.0 to V3.0
------------
Gradle Plugin Version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Corda 3.0 uses version 3.0.9 of the gradle plugins and your ``build.gradle`` file should be updated to reflect this.
.. sourcecode:: shell
ext.corda_gradle_plugins_version = '3.0.9'
You will also need to update the ``corda_release_version`` identifier in your project gradle file.
.. sourcecode:: shell
ext.corda_release_version = 'corda-3.0'
Network Map Service
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With the re-designed network map service the following changes need to be made:
* The network map is no longer provided by a node and thus the ``networkMapService`` config is ignored. Instead the
network map is either provided by the compatibility zone (CZ) operator (who operates the doorman) and available
using the ``compatibilityZoneURL`` config, or is provided using signed node info files which are copied locally.
See :doc:`network-map` for more details, and :doc:`network-bootstrapper` on how to use the network
bootstrapper for deploying a local network.
* Configuration for a notary has been simplified. ``extraAdvertisedServiceIds``, ``notaryNodeAddress``, ``notaryClusterAddresses``
and ``bftSMaRt`` configs have been replaced by a single ``notary`` config object. See :doc:`corda-configuration-file`
for more details.
* The advertisement of the notary to the rest of the network, and its validation type, is no longer determined by the
``extraAdvertisedServiceIds`` config. Instead it has been moved to the control of the network operator via
the introduction of network parameters. The network bootstrapper automatically includes the configured notaries
when generating the network parameters file for a local deployment.
* Any nodes defined in a ``deployNodes`` gradle task performing the function of the network map can be removed, or the
``NetworkMap`` parameter can be removed for any "controller" node which is both the network map and a notary.
* For registering a node with the doorman the ``certificateSigningService`` config has been replaced by ``compatibilityZoneURL``.
Corda Plugins
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Corda plugins have been modularised further so the following additional gradle entries are necessary:
For example:
.. sourcecode:: groovy
dependencies {
classpath "net.corda.plugins:cordapp:$corda_gradle_plugins_version"
}
apply plugin: 'net.corda.plugins.cordapp'
The plugin needs to be applied in all gradle build files where there is a dependency on Corda using any of:
cordaCompile, cordaRuntime, cordapp
* For existing contract ORM schemas that extend from ``CommonSchemaV1.LinearState`` or ``CommonSchemaV1.FungibleState``,
you will need to explicitly map the ``participants`` collection to a database table. Previously this mapping was done
in the superclass, but that makes it impossible to properly configure the table name. The required changes are to:
* Add the ``override var participants: MutableSet<AbstractParty>? = null`` field to your class, and
* Add JPA mappings
For example:
.. sourcecode:: kotlin
@Entity
@Table(name = "cash_states_v2",
indexes = arrayOf(Index(name = "ccy_code_idx2", columnList = "ccy_code")))
class PersistentCashState(
@ElementCollection
@Column(name = "participants")
@CollectionTable(name="cash_states_v2_participants", joinColumns = arrayOf(
JoinColumn(name = "output_index", referencedColumnName = "output_index"),
JoinColumn(name = "transaction_id", referencedColumnName = "transaction_id")))
override var participants: MutableSet<AbstractParty>? = null,
AMQP
^^^^
Whilst the enablement of AMQP is a transparent change, as noted in the :doc:`serialization` documentation
the way classes, and states in particular, should be written to work with this new library may require some
alteration to your current implementation.
* With AMQP enabled Java classes must be compiled with the -parameter flag.
* If they aren't, then the error message will complain about ``arg<N>`` being an unknown parameter.
* If recompilation is not viable, a custom serializer can be written as per :doc:`cordapp-custom-serializers`
* It is important to bear in mind that with AMQP there must be an implicit mapping between constructor
parameters and properties you wish included in the serialized form of a class.
* See :doc:`serialization` for more information
* Error messages of the form
``Constructor parameter - "<some parameter of a constructor>" - doesn't refer to a property of "class <some.class.being.serialized>"``
indicate that a class, in the above example ``some.class.being.serialized``, has a parameter on its primary constructor that
doesn't correlate to a property of the class. This is a problem because the Corda AMQP serialization library uses a class's
constructor (default, primary, or annotated) as the means by which instances of the serialized form are reconstituted.
See the section "Mismatched Class Properties / Constructor Parameters" in the :doc:`serialization` documentation
Database schema changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An H2 database instance (represented on the filesystem as a file called `persistence.mv.db`) used in Corda 1.0 or 2.0
cannot be directly reused with Corda 3.0 due to minor improvements and additions to stabilise the underlying schemas.
Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nodes that do not require SSL to be enabled for RPC clients now need an additional port to be specified as part of their configuration.
To do this, add a block as follows to the nodes configuration::
rpcSettings {
adminAddress "localhost:10007"
}
to `node.conf` files.
Also, the property `rpcPort` is now deprecated, so it would be preferable to substitute properties specified that way e.g., `rpcPort=10006` with a block as follows::
rpcSettings {
address "localhost:10006"
adminAddress "localhost:10007"
}
Equivalent changes should be performed on classes extending ``CordformDefinition``.
* Certificate Revocation List (CRL) support:
The newly added feature of certificate revocation (see :doc:`certificate-revocation`) introduces few changes to the node configuration.
In the configuration file it is required to explicitly specify what mode of the CRL check the node should apply. For that purpose the `crlCheckSoftFail`
parameter is now expected to be set explicitly in the node's SSL configuration.
Setting the `crlCheckSoftFail` to true, relaxes the CRL checking policy. In this mode, the SSL communication
will fail only when the certificate revocation status can be checked and the certificate is revoked. Otherwise it will succeed.
If `crlCheckSoftFail` is false, then the SSL failure will occur also if the certificate revocation status cannot be checked (e.g. due to a network failure).
Older versions of Corda do not have CRL distribution points embedded in the SSL certificates.
As such, in order to be able to reuse node and SSL certificates generated in those versions of Corda, the `crlCheckSoftFail` needs
to be set to true. This is required due to the fact that node and SSL certificates produced in the older versions of Corda miss attributes
required for the CRL check process. In this mode, if the CRL is unavailable for whatever reason, the check will still pass and the SSL connection will be allowed.
.. note:: The support for the mitigating this issue and being able to use the `strict` mode (i.e. with `crlCheckSoftFail` = false)
of the CRL checking with the certificates generated in the previous versions of Corda is going to be added in the near future.
Testing
^^^^^^^
* The registration mechanism for CorDapps in ``MockNetwork`` unit tests has changed:
* CorDapp registration is now done via the ``cordappPackages`` constructor parameter of MockNetwork. This parameter
is a list of ``String`` values which should be the package names of the CorDapps containing the contract
verification code you wish to load
* The ``unsetCordappPackages`` method is now redundant and has been removed
* Many classes have been moved between packages, so you will need to update your imports
.. tip:: We have provided a several scripts (depending upon your operating system of choice) to smooth the upgrade
process for existing projects. This can be found at ``tools\scripts\update-test-packages.sh`` for the Bash shell and
``tools/scripts/upgrade-test-packages.ps1`` for Windows Power Shell users in the source tree
* setCordappPackages and unsetCordappPackages have been removed from the ledger/transaction DSL and the flow test framework,
and are now set via a constructor parameter or automatically when constructing the MockServices or MockNetwork object
* Key constants e.g. ``ALICE_KEY`` have been removed; you can now use TestIdentity to make your own
* The ledger/transaction DSL must now be provided with MockServices as it no longer makes its own
* In transaction blocks, input and output take their arguments as ContractStates rather than lambdas
* Also in transaction blocks, command takes its arguments as CommandDatas rather than lambdas
* The MockServices API has changed; please refer to its API documentation
* TestDependencyInjectionBase has been retired in favour of a JUnit Rule called SerializationEnvironmentRule
* This replaces the initialiseSerialization parameter of ledger/transaction and verifierDriver
* The withTestSerialization method is obsoleted by SerializationEnvironmentRule and has been retired
* MockNetwork now takes a MockNetworkParameters builder to make it more Java-friendly, like driver's DriverParameters
* Similarly, the MockNetwork.createNode methods now take a MockNodeParameters builder
* MockNode constructor parameters are now aggregated in MockNodeArgs for easier subclassing
* MockNetwork.Factory has been retired as you can simply use a lambda
* testNodeConfiguration has been retired, please use a mock object framework of your choice instead
* MockNetwork.createSomeNodes and IntegrationTestCategory have been retired with no replacement
* Starting a flow can now be done directly from a node object. Change calls of the form ``node.getServices().startFlow(...)``
to ``node.startFlow(...)``
* Similarly a transaction can be executed directly from a node object. Change calls of the form ``node.getDatabase().transaction({ it -> ... })``
to ``node.transaction({() -> ... })``
* ``startFlow`` now returns a ``CordaFuture``, there is no need to call ``startFlow(...).getResultantFuture()``
V1.0 to V2.0
------------
* You need to update the ``corda_release_version`` identifier in your project gradle file. The
corda_gradle_plugins_version should remain at 1.0.0:
.. sourcecode:: shell
ext.corda_release_version = '2.0.0'
ext.corda_gradle_plugins_version = '1.0.0'
Public Beta (M12) to V1.0
-------------------------
:ref:`From Milestone 14 <changelog_m14>`
Build
^^^^^
* MockNetwork has moved. To continue using ``MockNetwork`` for testing, you must add the following dependency to your
``build.gradle`` file:
.. sourcecode:: shell
testCompile "net.corda:corda-node-driver:$corda_release_version"
.. note:: You may only need ``testCompile "net.corda:corda-test-utils:$corda_release_version"`` if not using the Driver
DSL
Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``CordaPluginRegistry`` has been removed:
* The one remaining configuration item ``customizeSerialisation``, which defined a optional whitelist of types for
use in object serialization, has been replaced with the ``SerializationWhitelist`` interface which should be
implemented to define a list of equivalent whitelisted classes
* You will need to rename your services resource file. 'resources/META-INF/services/net.corda.core.node.CordaPluginRegistry'
becomes 'resources/META-INF/services/net.corda.core.serialization.SerializationWhitelist'
* ``MockNode.testPluginRegistries`` was renamed to ``MockNode.testSerializationWhitelists``
* In general, the ``@CordaSerializable`` annotation is the preferred method for whitelisting, as described in
:doc:`serialization`
Missing imports
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Use IntelliJ's automatic imports feature to intelligently resolve the new imports:
* Missing imports for contract types:
* CommercialPaper and Cash are now contained within the ``finance`` module, as are associated helpers functions. For
example:
* ``import net.corda.contracts.ICommercialPaperState`` becomes ``import net.corda.finance.contracts.ICommercialPaperState``
* ``import net.corda.contracts.asset.sumCashBy`` becomes ``import net.corda.finance.utils.sumCashBy``
* ``import net.corda.core.contracts.DOLLARS`` becomes ``import net.corda.finance.DOLLARS``
* ``import net.corda.core.contracts.issued by`` becomes ``import net.corda.finance.issued by``
* ``import net.corda.contracts.asset.Cash`` becomes ``import net.corda.finance.contracts.asset.Cash``
* Missing imports for utility functions:
* Many common types and helper methods have been consolidated into ``net.corda.core.utilities`` package. For example:
* ``import net.corda.core.crypto.commonName`` becomes ``import net.corda.core.utilities.commonName``
* ``import net.corda.core.crypto.toBase58String`` becomes ``import net.corda.core.utilities.toBase58String``
* ``import net.corda.core.getOrThrow`` becomes ``import net.corda.core.utilities.getOrThrow``
* Missing flow imports:
* In general, all reusable library flows are contained within the **core** API ``net.corda.core.flows`` package
* Financial domain library flows are contained within the **finance** module ``net.corda.finance.flows`` package
* Other flows that have moved include ``import net.corda.core.flows.ResolveTransactionsFlow``, which becomes
``import net.corda.core.internal.ResolveTransactionsFlow``
Core data structures
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Missing ``Contract`` override:
* ``Contract.legalContractReference`` has been removed, and replaced by the optional annotation
``@LegalProseReference(uri = "<URI>")``
* Unresolved reference:
* ``AuthenticatedObject`` was renamed to ``CommandWithParties``
* Overrides nothing:
* ``LinearState.isRelevant`` was removed. Whether a node stores a ``LinearState`` in its vault depends on whether the
node is one of the state's ``participants``
* ``txBuilder.toLedgerTransaction`` now requires a ``ServiceHub`` parameter. This is used by the new Contract
Constraints functionality to validate and resolve attachments
Flow framework
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``FlowLogic`` communication has been upgraded to use explicit ``FlowSession`` instances to communicate between nodes:
* ``FlowLogic.send``/``FlowLogic.receive``/``FlowLogic.sendAndReceive`` has been replaced by ``FlowSession.send``/
``FlowSession.receive``/``FlowSession.sendAndReceive``. The replacement functions do not take a destination
parameter, as this is defined implicitly by the session used
* Initiated flows now take in a ``FlowSession`` instead of ``Party`` in their constructor. If you need to access the
counterparty identity, it is in the ``counterparty`` property of the flow session
* ``FinalityFlow`` now returns a single ``SignedTransaction``, instead of a ``List<SignedTransaction>``
* ``TransactionKeyFlow`` was renamed to ``SwapIdentitiesFlow``
* ``SwapIdentitiesFlow`` must be imported from the *confidential-identities* package ``net.corda.confidential``
Node services (ServiceHub)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Unresolved reference to ``vaultQueryService``:
* Replace all references to ``<services>.vaultQueryService`` with ``<services>.vaultService``
* Previously there were two vault APIs. Now there is a single unified API with the same functions: ``VaultService``.
* ``FlowLogic.ourIdentity`` has been introduced as a shortcut for retrieving our identity in a flow
* ``serviceHub.myInfo.legalIdentity`` no longer exists
* ``getAnyNotary`` has been removed. Use ``serviceHub.networkMapCache.notaryIdentities[0]`` instead
* ``ServiceHub.networkMapUpdates`` is replaced by ``ServiceHub.networkMapFeed``
* ``ServiceHub.partyFromX500Name`` is replaced by ``ServiceHub.wellKnownPartyFromX500Name``
* A "well known" party is one that isn't anonymous. This change was motivated by the confidential identities work
RPC Client
^^^^^^^^^^
* Missing API methods on the ``CordaRPCOps`` interface:
* ``verifiedTransactionsFeed`` has been replaced by ``internalVerifiedTransactionsFeed``
* ``verifiedTransactions`` has been replaced by ``internalVerifiedTransactionsSnapshot``
* These changes are in preparation for the planned integration of Intel SGX™, which will encrypt the transactions
feed. Apps that use this API will not work on encrypted ledgers. They should generally be modified to use the vault
query API instead
* Accessing the ``networkMapCache`` via ``services.nodeInfo().legalIdentities`` returns a list of identities
* This change is in preparation for allowing a node to host multiple separate identities in the future
Testing
^^^^^^^
Please note that ``Clauses`` have been removed completely as of V1.0. We will be revisiting this capability in a future
release.
* CorDapps must be explicitly registered in ``MockNetwork`` unit tests:
* This is done by calling ``setCordappPackages``, an extension helper function in the ``net.corda.testing`` package,
on the first line of your ``@Before`` method. This takes a variable number of ``String`` arguments which should be
the package names of the CorDapps containing the contract verification code you wish to load
* You should unset CorDapp packages in your ``@After`` method by using ``unsetCordappPackages`` after
``stopNodes``
* CorDapps must be explicitly registered in ``DriverDSL`` and ``RPCDriverDSL`` integration tests:
* You must register package names of the CorDapps containing the contract verification code you wish to load using
the ``extraCordappPackagesToScan: List<String>`` constructor parameter of the driver DSL
Finance
^^^^^^^
* ``FungibleAsset`` interface simplification:
* The ``Commands`` grouping interface that included the ``Move``, ``Issue`` and ``Exit`` interfaces has been removed
* The ``move`` function has been renamed to ``withNewOwnerAndAmount``
* This is for consistency with ``OwnableState.withNewOwner``
Miscellaneous
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``args[0].parseNetworkHostAndPort()`` becomes ``NetworkHostAndPort.parse(args[0])``
* There is no longer a ``NodeInfo.advertisedServices`` property
* The concept of advertised services has been removed from Corda. This is because it was vaguely defined and
real-world apps would not typically select random, unknown counterparties from the network map based on
self-declared capabilities
* We will introduce a replacement for this functionality, business networks, in a future release
* For now, services should be retrieved by legal name using ``NetworkMapCache.getNodeByLegalName``
Gotchas
^^^^^^^
* Be sure to use the correct identity when issuing cash:
* The third parameter to ``CashIssueFlow`` should be the *notary* (and not the *node identity*)

Core data structures
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``TransactionBuilder`` changes:
* Use convenience class ``StateAndContract`` instead of ``TransactionBuilder.withItems`` for passing
around a state and its contract.
* Transaction builder DSL changes:
* When adding inputs and outputs to a transaction builder, you must also specify ``ContractClassName``
* ``ContractClassName`` is the name of the ``Contract`` subclass used to verify the transaction
* Contract verify method signature change:
* ``override fun verify(tx: TransactionForContract)`` becomes ``override fun verify(tx: LedgerTransaction)``
* You no longer need to override ``ContractState.contract`` function
Node services (ServiceHub)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ServiceHub API method changes:
* ``services.networkMapUpdates().justSnapshot`` becomes ``services.networkMapSnapshot()``
Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* No longer need to define ``CordaPluginRegistry`` and configure ``requiredSchemas``:
* Custom contract schemas are automatically detected at startup time by class path scanning
* For testing purposes, use the ``SchemaService`` method to register new custom schemas (e.g.
``services.schemaService.registerCustomSchemas(setOf(YoSchemaV1))``)
Identity
^^^^^^^^
* Party names are now ``CordaX500Name``, not ``X500Name``:
* ``CordaX500Name`` specifies a predefined set of mandatory (organisation, locality, country) and optional fields
(common name, organisation unit, state) with validation checking
* Use new builder ``CordaX500Name.build(X500Name(target))`` or explicitly define the X500Name parameters using the
``CordaX500Name`` constructors
Testing
^^^^^^^
* MockNetwork testing:
* Mock nodes in node tests are now of type ``StartedNode<MockNode>``, rather than ``MockNode``
* ``MockNetwork`` now returns a ``BasketOf(<StartedNode<MockNode>>)``
* You must call internals on ``StartedNode`` to get ``MockNode`` (e.g. ``a = nodes.partyNodes[0].internals``)
* Host and port changes:
* Use string helper function ``parseNetworkHostAndPort`` to parse a URL on startup (e.g.
``val hostAndPort = args[0].parseNetworkHostAndPort()``)
* Node driver parameter changes:
* The node driver parameters for starting a node have been reordered
* The nodes name needs to be given as an ``CordaX500Name``, instead of using ``getX509Name``

Core data structures
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Transaction building:
* You no longer need to specify the type of a ``TransactionBuilder`` as ``TransactionType.General``
* ``TransactionType.General.Builder(notary)`` becomes ``TransactionBuilder(notary)``
Build
^^^^^
* Gradle dependency reference changes:
* Module names have changed to include ``corda`` in the artifacts' JAR names:
.. sourcecode:: shell
compile "net.corda:core:$corda_release_version" -> compile "net.corda:corda-core:$corda_release_version"
compile "net.corda:finance:$corda_release_version" -> compile "net.corda:corda-finance:$corda_release_version"
compile "net.corda:jackson:$corda_release_version" -> compile "net.corda:corda-jackson:$corda_release_version"
compile "net.corda:node:$corda_release_version" -> compile "net.corda:corda-node:$corda_release_version"
compile "net.corda:rpc:$corda_release_version" -> compile "net.corda:corda-rpc:$corda_release_version"
Node services (ServiceHub)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``ServiceHub`` API changes:
* ``services.networkMapUpdates`` becomes ``services.networkMapFeed``
* ``services.getCashBalances`` becomes a helper method in the *finance* module contracts package
(``net.corda.finance.contracts.getCashBalances``)
Finance
^^^^^^^
* Financial asset contracts (``Cash``, ``CommercialPaper``, ``Obligations``) are now a standalone CorDapp within the
``finance`` module:
* You need to import them from their respective packages within the ``finance`` module (e.g.
``net.corda.finance.contracts.asset.Cash``)
* You need to import the associated asset flows from their respective packages within ``finance`` module. For
example:
* ``net.corda.finance.flows.CashIssueFlow``
* ``net.corda.finance.flows.CashIssueAndPaymentFlow``
* ``net.corda.finance.flows.CashExitFlow``
* The ``finance`` gradle project files have been moved into a ``net.corda.finance`` package namespace:
* Adjust imports of Cash flow references
* Adjust the ``StartFlow`` permission in ``gradle.build`` files
* Adjust imports of the associated flows (``Cash*Flow``, ``TwoPartyTradeFlow``, ``TwoPartyDealFlow``)
If your flows could benefit from being extended in this way, read ":doc:`flow-overriding`" to learn more.
